There is before the Dakota Legislature

ney Of long experience IN railroad mat

surprising that the North Pacific does
not oppose the repeal OF that law. II

The Effects et Mental Exhaustic4..

Many diseases. especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion business avocations often
involve an amount of mental wear and tear
very prejudicial to physical health, and the
professions, if ardnously pursued, are no less
destructive to brain and nerve tissue, 1t is one
of the most i'm portant attributes of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, that it compeEsates for this
undue loss OF tissue, and that it imparts new
energy TO the brain and nerves. The rapidity
with which it rsnews weakened mental energy
and physical vitality is remarkable, and shows
that its invigorating properties ara of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital Q. aInina
and coanteracting the effects Of mental ex-
haustion, this potential medicine cures and
prevents fever and sgue, rheumatism, chronic
dyspepsia and constipation, kidney and uterine

The Watertown Courier News dem
onstrates in cold figures that the cost of
maintaining Dakota as one state would
be double the cost of maintaining one
half of Dakota as state, and that it
would cost no more to conduct the af.
fairs Of two Dakotas than of one Da-
kota. In support of this proposition. we
need only to direct the attention of the
taxpayer to the extraordinary expenses
incurred by Dakota as one territory,
with it's two sections, its two kinds of
people, its double allotment OF public
institutions and its fierce iealousies and
continual strife for sectional preferment.
The teachings of every day and hour
are sufficient to overturn any theory of
the economy of one large state.

Colncldent with the appearance OF u
legislative bill for the payment of sum
of money TO owners of alleged pleuro
pnemonia cattle slaughtered last fall
comes another alleged outbreak of the
disease in the neigbborhood of De Smet,
in Kingsbury county. Whether the
disease caused the bill or the bill caused
the disease is q question to be decided
by commissioner just despatched to De
Smet by Governor Pierce, with consent
of Governor Church. It has been asserted
by cattle men of long experience that
the alleged pleuro pnemonia of last fall,
IN the bad lands of Dakota, was only a
bad case of alkali poisoning, an occur
renee common in that region during
drouth seasons. The reported outbreak at
DeSmet does not occur within the alkali
range, but must exist, if the reports are
correct, among hay fed cattle in the
sheds of Kingsbury county farmers. DIR.
Ooe, oss MMaldsn, has been delegated by
the authorities to investigate the De
Smet rumor and authorized to slaughter
any cattle he may find affected by the
epidemic.

has, in good faith, been resident OF the

Canadian newspapers are agitated
over the determined attitude of the
United States congress relative to
Canadian fisheries. They announce that
"the Americans are planning to steal
our fish, The situation is being gravely
discussed on the Canadian side and the
state minister of fisheries at Ottawa
says:
Canada in every instance has shown
the greatest courtesy TO the fishermen OF
the United States when keeping them
within tie treaty bounds. The whole
trouble in arriving at settlement,
believe, has arisen from the misrepre-
sentatlons. on the part of captains ol

do is TO staud by our rights ss defined

sufficient supply of fish from their own
